What this NAICS covers

NAICS 327120 covers manufacturing of clay-based building products such as brick, structural tile, clay roof tile, sewer pipe, and refractory shapes made from fired clay for use in construction, industrial linings, and masonry applications.

Federal opportunities under 327120 typically involve supply contracts for standard or specification-grade clay bricks, architectural tiles, kiln-fired refractory units, or precast clay components with material certification, dimensional tolerances, and delivery to construction staging yards.

FAQ

What work fits NAICS 327120?
  • Production and delivery of kiln-fired facing bricks for a historic building restoration project with specified color, size, and compressive strength.
  • Manufacture of firebrick or clay refractory shapes to specified chemistry and high-temperature performance for industrial furnace linings.
  • Supply of molded clay roof tiles produced to dimensional tolerances and packaged for rooftop reroofing staging yards.
  • Fabrication of custom structural clay units (special-shaped masonry units) to match architectural drawings and shop dimensions for facade work.
When is NAICS 327120 a weak fit?
  • Masonry installation contracts that require on-site laying of brick and mortar because the procurement is for construction services, not manufacturing of clay products.
  • Metal or synthetic refractory procurement where materials are non-clay (forged, cast, or ceramic-bonded mineral refractories) because the product chemistry and manufacturing processes differ from fired clay.
  • Manufacture of ceramic tableware or sanitary ware where glazing and kiln processes target household/fixture ceramics rather than clay building materials, so end use and specifications differ.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 327120?
  • Drawings or specifications calling out ASTM or other clay brick standards, specific brick type, size schedule, and compressive strength requirements.
  • Requirement for mill or plant test reports, kiln firing records, material certifications, and dimensional tolerance certificates for delivered units.
  • Delivery terms specifying palletized units, minimum bundle counts, staging-yard drop-off, and packaging to protect fired clay during transport.
